Caregiver Lab Program

The ALS Caregiver Labs are workshops created for caregivers of people living with ALS. The program
is designed to provide hands-on learning, education, and training for caregivers focusing on durable
medical equipment, communication & speech, respiratory equipment, dietary & nutrition needs, and
other areas. We have collaborated with various universities throughout Michigan and their faculty and
students within the dietician, speech, OT and PT, and respiratory programs to help provide hands-on
learning opportunities for our ALS caregivers.

2024 Caregiver Lab information coming soon...
